I'm not one to get prematurely excited...but can someone explain this

Good job IronH.

Thanks for the input...it is encouraging to see that you are also getting basically the same results.

This device certainly seems to have some real potential.

Latest motor charger reading...7.57 vdc

The starting voltage at 6.25 volts has climbed to 7.17 in 5 hours.
This battery was a 6.25 for at least a month. Very interesting results
and still charging or climbing as it were.

I am guessing that  the  battery is not in  real good shape if it had been setting  discharged  that long .

I wonder if it  would improve any    if you just let if charge a few weeks 

Pulsing   DC  is  said  to be able to  desolve some of the sulfite  crystals ...... there is a possability  this  way of charging might too .

Two things I would like to add....

To quickly deplete 9v batteries of charge a metal type scrubbing pad rubbed accross the battery may work as it shorts it out and is a good way to start fires when in dire need.

Also a good cheap test subject for the motor that every one should have if you are a junk collecter like most of us are:
A FLOPPY DRIVE MOTOR

Just some helpful things that may help average testers along... The load test is important indeed but a floppy drive motor while the specs are unknown to me I would guess would be a smaller voltage good for a load testing on smaller scale...

Anyhow Cap hats off look forward to reading your progress...

PS not 100% sure on how well the discharging works but I suspect it should work fairly well but use with caution as it will start fires and may short out your battery to a non recoverable state but we are talking expirementation here so as always use precaussions nessacary.

...they are just dollar store batteries...the only descriptive they have is that they are mercury free.

If the  battery  does not  say  alcaline  or  some other kind of  battery it is a plain  carbon  battery

My test  has  not  done much  this after noon ...........002 V in  6 hrs 

I just  switched to bigger caps
